Jake Christisen | Owner & Operator
Jake Christisen was born and raised in Perryville, Missouri — and he’s been building things ever since. With over 24 years of experience in the outdoor and construction industry, Jake has developed a hands-on understanding of every aspect of the pool building process, from excavation and structural installation to plumbing, equipment, and finishing details. That depth of knowledge is what separates Pools & More Outdoor from companies that simply manage subcontractors.
Jake founded Pools & More Outdoor with a simple vision — to bring premium pool installation and outdoor living to homeowners across Southeast Missouri and Southwest Illinois with the kind of honest, personalized service that big national chains can’t offer. As an authorized Latham and Radiant dealer, Jake hand-picked the brands he installs because he believes his customers deserve products built to last.
For Jake, a swimming pool isn’t just a backyard feature – it’s where families come together, where kids grow up, and where memories are made for decades. That belief drives every project. Pools & More Outdoor takes on, from the first consultation to the day the water goes in. Proudly serving Perryville, Cape Girardeau, Jackson Farmington, Festus, Herculaneum, Saint Genevieve, Fredericktown, St. Louis, Chester, Illinois, and surrounding areas.
